Yes, you will indeed learn. DH was amazed at my power tool collection when he first met me. Have house, have collection of DIY books. YouTube is our best friend now.
Congratulations, sj and TCG! Yay new house, all yours! I sit with the folks in the DIY homeowner corner. It's cool! Join us, we have power tools.
askye, glad Penny was easily captured!
Dang, this heat pump replacement is taking the money I was gonna build a catlock with.

Back to work.

Yes, children, once all we had were well-thumbed Time-Life home repair books. I'm going to hug the internet now.
(Sometimes I still like the home repair books better)

Dear handy home repair DIY people: PLEASE COME TO OUR HOUSE. Please. DIY clothing? No problem. Any sort of home repair thing? Oh no. We do not have those skills.
I have finished packing the
big
suitcase for this weekend. My fancy fancy outfit, Cass' fancy fancy outfit, corsets, spare hat, spare boots, and ... regular clothes. If I could travel with a steamer trunk and a footman, I would, dammit. But the Vampire Ball is going to be
fabulous.
I would trade home repair for clothing alteration! Would that we had transporter technology.

And I have taken all of the donation stuff out of my trunk. By actually going and donating it! It's exclamation point worthy because now your suitcase (and you) will actually fit in my car. That was not the case earlier today.

I've hung onto a couple of useful books, mainly
Fix It Fast, Fix It Right
and a fat Time-Life Complete Fix-It book, plus books about things I think I might do in a hypothetical future in which I have money, health, time, motivation and a chop saw.
I would like a book--I would trust it more than the internet.
Sadly, smonster, I have no plumbing help.
